"Fade" lyrics

There you were
Like the rarest blue of a New York City sky
I fell in love
And you felt it too, those eyes could never lie
For a moment, I'd stolen the keys to another life
For the first time I, I was enough
With the sweetest view, you right by my side

And I watched us fade
You were glowing, just floating to the clouds
And I watched us fade
There was smoke and your shadow on the ground

There we were
At the airport gate, I failed to recognize
What I had, what my soul had craved as I tried to hold you tight
For a moment, we'd stolen the keys to another life
It was worth it, right?
And that was us, in different lanes, on two different flights

And I watched us fade
You were glowing, just floating to the clouds
And I watched us fade
There was smoke and your shadow on the ground

When I close my eyes
You're only ever leaving, I only ever see you in my mind
The plane's on the runway, it's only going one way, and I try
But I'll only ever watch you fade

And I watched us fade
You were floating and never coming down
And I watched us fade
I was holding your shadow from the ground
And I watched us fade
(Woah-oh-oh)
And I watched us fade
(Woah-oh-oh)

When I close my eyes
You're only ever leaving, I only ever see you in my mind
The plane's on the runway, it's only going one way, and I try
But I'll only ever watch you fade
And I watched us fade
And I watched us fade
